PSXE Poll Update: Red Dead Redemption Tops Priority Lists

So if you're not already playing and loving >Red Dead Redemption , you most certainly intend to purchase it, which is good news for Rockstar and Co.

Of the nearly 1500 who answered the poll, 1/3 say they own and adore the open-world sandbox Western, another 1/3 say they fully intend to buy the game soon, and only a very small number say it didn't live up to expectations. Some said it wasn't their thing but in comparison to the overall love shown for RDR, it's almost insignificant. This past week has seen the emergence of a legitimate Game of the Year contender as it has met with considerable critical acclaim and has proven to be a financial blockbuster , so perhaps these results shouldn't be surprising. After this mammoth success, we're wondering if Rockstar intends to continue this franchise; we had the relatively average Red Dead Revolver ("relatively" in comparison to RDR; the game was actually decent) but now, shouldn't another "Red Dead" be inevitable? Or maybe they should focus on a new exploration-based title of a similar structure but different theme? After GTAIV and RDR, they've obviously got this style of game down pat…

Anyway, this week, we want to know if Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops appeals to you. We don't have a ton of CoD lovers around here but with the news that we'll get a robust single-player campaign, plus the inclusion of a Vietnam setting and a kick-ass trailer …well, it might have changed your minds. Let's find out.

Black Ops appeals me because it may have split screen co-op, you know, because treyarch is doing it and they also did world at war, which included split screen co-op. And I mean campaign co-op, no minigame co-op.

We really need more split screen co-op games these days

Resistance 1 was awesome with the split-screen…
If only that was patched into Resistance 2

I'm Viet, case no one noticed, so I demand an apology!! Ok, I don't really need an apology, but at least remove the message about the Vietnamese. The game you're thrashing isn't what I'm mad about.

And main_event05, I don't know, but she's Japanese, and I call her Resa 🙂

So what would they call the next one? Have to keep it RDR since the last two were. Let's see… Red Dead Revolution? Red Dead Revenge?

Not interested in Black Ops myself, just more of the same old CoD rut like last time. I'll play the split screen at my buddy's house; I don't buy the fact that the story in this will be very good since it's going to be another bounce around schizophrenic experience.

How about Red Dead Revolution? I like that one. You're a writer, right? Sounds like you found a way to make 7 figures. Get to work, World!

World,

That title alone would make for a ton of possibilities.

Black Ops appears appealng…apple? What the h*** is wrong with me…LOL…but about the co-op bit, it's not that important to me. Usually I end up playing online most of the time anyway. Only God knows how man hours I've logged in on MW2, I really need to burn that game, as much as I hate to say it…it keeps you coming back for more. I have RDR but I haven't put too much time into it. I've really been a multiplayer guy lately. I love playing with other players online. Can't wait for DS2, that game is gonna be some sinister limb hacking fun. Single and multiplayer modes. Sorry, I haven't posted in a while…this is just one of my random rambling rants. 🙂

2 things:

-RDR is the shit.

-And as talented as IW's lil' brother, Treyarch, is…I'm CoD'd out. I can barely play shooters now. Thx to that 2-3 yr blitz of shooters…I'm done with basic FPSs for now.
These developers gotta come a lil' bit harder now. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the game will rock. I think it has the potential to be better than MW2! But I just can't play st8 up FPSs anymore.

I love red dead! But… I can't seem to play it anymore due to modnation racers. Damn that game is addicting. Its way to much fun creating your own tracks, mods and karts. More so than lbp in my opinion.

My psn is TES37 and I could use some help with those creation trophies. Even if you delete my creations afterwards because you think they suck, it won't hurt my feelings one bit.

Willing to race against you and download your stuff as well.

Yup. RDR is that good. I'm having tons of fun with it. The shooting in it is really good. The weapons have the right sound and feel.

As for Black Ops? Absolutely. Even if Treyarch bung it up, it'll still be a hoot online.

This post is going to be really off topic but modnation racers really remind me of why the Playstation is such an open console. It really bothered me when the head of Valve said the Playstation 3 is not open. Well than why can I use a wireless keyboard to type to people in modnation? Why can i have such creative freedom in the games sony keep pushing out? Why can i take a picture of my creations on modnation, save it to my ps3 harddrive then go to gmail and send an email with that picture on my ps3 HUH!? And why the heck can i use a bluetooth headset!? ARGHHHH. hahah sorry for that. 🙂

Modnation is definitely awesome, SayWord. Valve obviously sold their soul to the MS, and figure it's too late to go back now.
It's amazing, however, that Sony doesn't get sued over the accuracy of some of these characters in Modnation. I made Taokaka (big surprise, right?) and Xavier from Xavier: Renegade Angel, and they look exactly like the real thing! 🙂

Black Ops will get a lot of hype and praise from the sheep who buy it just because everyone else is, and a few months later we'll hear them all complaining about how bad it is and how its so broken because of invasive glitches and hackers that its almost unplayable. I will not be fooled ever again.

I voted that it was on my radar. I did buy it last week, and am LOVING it. Way more than I ever liked GTAIV. They did a fantastic job. I am already hoping for a sequel. I wish they would score Clint Eastwood for some voice work.

I'll be sure to pick up Black Ops on sale. No denying that CoD games are fun. No denying that they are NOT worth $60 either. No doubt I'll be able to find this game for $40, maybe less, by the time Christmas rolls around.

RDR and SSF4 are currently my most played games. RDR to me is what I wish all open world games would aspire to no matter what setting. Also the multiplayer is amazing for me, to me wrecking the enemy team with a cannon beats spamming R1 on the enemy spawn point any day.

I'd like to change my vote for the previous ballot, bought RDR over the weekend and so far loving it.

As for COD:BO, I've never played a COD game so I could care less about it.

RDR is a very fun single player experience, because I have yet to play online, so I know the game is good when I dont have to play online to justified the purchase. I'm just wishing R* come out with the DLC soon.

Multiplayer is great. Creating a posse and then going to all the gang hideouts is a lot of fun. It's also fun to get a really high bounty and try and survive and onslaught of lawmen, and sometimes other players from killing you (they get more exp for killing you if you're a public enemy.) The team and free for all matches are your standard fare but the RDR twist on these game types definitely will keep many coming back.

Most certainly going to buy COD Black Ops. I would like to see some more tailors proving an enhanced single player campaign and some game-play but it will all come with time.

As for an RDRII, I would put a good amount of stock in the idea that it will be produced. I have no clue what the title will be, but as King James mentioned, they have people for that. And if their writers somehow draw a blank(unlikely) I'm sure they'll get a million ideas from fans worldwide. Id be interested to see what kind of DLC RDR will have, it'll prob. be pretty ill lol

COD Black ops does not appeal to me at all, i'm waiting for a good FPS like oh I don't know MOH 🙂

RDR my friend showed me a little bit of it before he had to go to work and man it's cool game, just don't have the funds I might just borrow it off him we'll see 🙂

I still say 'Red Dead Redemption' is being way overhyped, despite being a really good game, but whatever.

And I think I'm pretty much spent on 'Call of Duty' for a while. Unless, of course, I see something most impressive.

theres no way RDR will get GOTY its good but not that good.
but than thats what i said about MW and GTAIV so i guess anythings possible!!!

as for black ops, meh im really sick of war games.
one of the guys at EB has played it along with medal of honor and he reckons medal of honor sh*ts all over black ops!
he said respawn entertainment are actually helping out on both the MP and SP, its going to be interesting to see how that turns out.
DICE and the ex infinity ward guys working together, now thats interesting considering the pot shots they kept making at each other.
